Be very careful when cutting the big clearance notch into the base of the windshield, safety glass can be brittle.

Thanks i will. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of blower to use. I want something that looks nice but I don't want an 800hp car that you can't drive everyday if wanted. This care is just gonna be a weekend car but I still want to be able to drive it a ways and be semi reliable.

You're going to need a new ECU and harness. The LS7 is an awesome engine.
And with the right tune, and long tubes, that thing will be more than enough. Heck, in stock trim it pushes vettes into the 11's.
Please keep us updated of the build.

You should go search for the thread for the guy that put the SBC in his car. We are not talking about just the AC, we are talk everything in the dash all the gages your power windows you have to create a new wiring harness because almost everything goes thru the computer system at some point.

You need to get out a tape measure. Big blocks don't fit in 4th gens without major modification to the structure of the car and almost every single part on the motor will need custom make. You can forget the blower sticking out of the hood a good bit of the motor is under the windshield.

I did forget to mention that he'll have a heck of an interior leak when it rains! lol
